MESQUITE CHOP HOUSE

On Thursday August 21st, I visited Mesquite Chop House in Southaven, MS for their August Beer Dinner featuring four new frosty treats from Rogue Ales. What's the verdict? Lets take a look...

First Course:

Peking Duck Wontons served with the Morimoto Soba Ale (pictured above, second from left)
Just looking at this picture makes my mouth water all over again. The pastry was crisp without being too flaky & the duck was cooked to tender perfection.

Second Course:

House Smoked Amber Jack with a Key Lime Mustard Sauce and a Sweet and Sour Slaw served with the American Amber (pictured above, third from left)
This was my first time having amber jack. Its a pretty light fishy (think tilapia), but the key lime mustard sauce drizzled over the top made sparks fly.

Third Course:

Cocoa and Coffee Dusted Medallions of Beef with a Sweet Potato Casserole and served with the Mocha Porter (pictured above, far right)
My fave of the night. Josh Cobbs (Head Chef of the Southaven location, recently promoted to General Manager), you WILL personally teach me how to prepare this one.

Fourth Course:

Triple Chocolate Bread Pudding Ala Mode served with the Chocolate Stout (pictured above, far left)
Ahh, desert. It's triple chocolate, for Heaven's sake. Do I really need to say more?


The atmosphere: exquisite / The menu: flawless / The service: impeccable / The price: just $40 per person



The beer tasting is a monthly event for Mesquite - every third Wednesday. Mesquite also hosts a wine dinner the first Wednesday of each month for $50 per person.
